How to bake chicken burgers

Chicken burgers are really easy to make! I love to feed them to friends and family because who doesn’t love a breaded chipotle chicken burger? Also, they can be made earlier in the day and kept in the fridge until you are ready to bake them. Here is the step by step process of how to bake chicken burgers.

First you want to slice your breasts in half horizontally, as even as possible, so that your two full chicken breasts become 4 thin chicken cutlets. I don’t recommend using an entire breast for each burger because it will make the burgers way too thick, especially after you add the breading and then the toppings.

Using one hand, dunk a chicken cutlet into the egg wash and then drop into the breading without touching it. Using the other hand, roll the chicken around into the breading to ensure full coverage on both sides. You want to avoid getting the breading wet because it will clump up very easily, which is why it’s a good idea to use separate hands for the egg wash and breading.

Lay the chicken burger on a baking sheet with a non stick baking mat or parchment and repeat for the other three cutlets. Once you’ve made your four burgers you can bake them at 375° for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature is 180° and the coating is nice and toasty!

What goes with chicken burgers

Ever tried Avocado Fries? They are amazing and pair perfectly with that extra chipotle mayo you have in that bowl, leftover from the epic Chipotle Chicken Burgers you are about to make! I have a delicious recipe for Low Carb Avocado Fries you will absolutely love!

Chipotle Mayo Recipe

It is not a secret that I absolutely love chipotle mayo. My bestie introduced me to this specific brand of chipotle hot sauce that is seriously delish. All you do it take some mayo, add in some of this Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce, a dash of sea salt and mix! You’ve got yourself a delicious chipotle mayo in the blink of an eye!

Leftover burgers?

Cook two pieces of bacon. Chop up one leftover patty and toss it in ranch dressing. Wash and dry two pieces of lettuce and divide the chicken between the two. Top with bacon and roll up the lettuce to form two Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wraps. YUM!

Equipment Needed

Directions

Heat oven to 400°. Prep your work station by setting up the baking sheet with the non stick baking mat, combine the breading ingredients in a medium bowl, then whisk the egg wash ingredients in another medium bowl. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have four thin cutlets.

With one hand dip a chicken breast into the egg wash, coating the whole surface, then place into the breading bowl. With the other hand, flip the breast around so that it gets covered with breading and place on the baking sheet in the form of a circle. Repeat with the remaining three chicken cutlets.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 180°. Make your 90 Second Keto Bread (or have brioche buns for the non-low-carbers) and build your burgers with whatever toppings you like! I love to load on the chipotle mayo, aged cheddar cheese, bacon and thick sliced avocado. Enjoy!
